Course details
The FPP course, presented by the IMF's Institute for Capacity Development, aims at extending participants' understanding of the design and implementation of macroeconomic and financial policies, drawing on the IMF's experience in economic surveillance, the design of financial programs, and the provision of technical advice to member countries. The course covers the principal features of the four main sectors that comprise the macroeconomy (real, fiscal, external, and monetary) and the interrelations between them. For each sector, the course first presents the accounting approach, followed by analytical issues and simple forecasting methods; diagnosis of macroeconomic performance and analysis of the effects of macroeconomic and structural policies on the main variables of interest to policymakers, including output, prices, and the balance of payments; and preparation of a macroeconomic policy program aimed at correcting imbalances identified in the diagnosis of a case study based on real-world data.

About IMF Institute
The IMF Institute for Capacity Development (ICD) organizes courses for officials from Arab League member countries at the CEF in Kuwait. The CEF's activities are generously sponsored and funded by the Government of Kuwait. The primary purpose of the CEF is to strengthen the skills of officials from Arab League countries in economic analysis and diagnosis, and in formulating and implementing effective economic and financial policies. The IMF will be the principal training provider for the CEF in the area macroeconomic management. Training outside the core areas of expertise of the IMF will be delivered by other organizations, such as, the World Bank, WTO, and OECD. Furthermore, and in line with the CEF's objective to collaborate closely with regional institutions, the CEF started recently to conduct some joint training courses with the Arab Monetary Fund in Abu Dhabi. Courses are offered generally in Arabic or in English with interpretation into Arabic.

Courses are by invitation only.

Attending as an Observer provides the same access to course content and activities, but all associated costs (accommodation, travel and per diem) need to be covered by the sponsoring institution.
